the following dialog box is displayed:
Enter a record in the dialog box for the DFNT module to be addressed. The
N
AME
field identifies the module to the RSView system. The
C
HANNEL
parameter
should be that defined in the channel set up defined above. The
S
TATION
parameter should be set to the IP address of the DFNT module. Select the
C
LOSE
button after completing the node entry. If your version of the RSView
supports ControlLogix controller tag read and write operations, select the device
type consistent with the ControlLogix processor. This will permit direct access to
the controller tags simulated in the module. Use of controller tags simplifies
handling of the data in RSView as the data will be passing in the correct data
format (that is, bit, word, float).
